lodgings
Temporary living quarters
Lodgings are rented rooms or temporary accommodations, typically in someone else's house rather than a hotel: He found lodgings near the university.
The term sounds somewhat old-fashioned, evoking an era when boarding houses were common.
A single room may be called a lodging, though the plural form predominates even for one space.
